Pros

Better company to work in 2018 and before. Free Cabs, Free Food, Open Source Technologies, Free Harassment.

Cons

Gurgaon is in race with US to prove that Indians can work faster, late night hours and even on week-ends. Non Technical Managers are leading technical teams. Micro management. Very poor people management. If you want to survive, join lobby of unskilled managers. Personal ego of managers comes first and you need to satisfy it. If not then you are out. Almost all good devs across the all the levels left from Gurgaon in last 3 months.

Pros

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Cons

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
